Journal ArticleDOI
A data-driven predictive model of city-scale energy use in buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a predictive model of energy use at the building, district, and city scales using training data from energy disclosure policies and predictors from widely available property and zoning information.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Resilience to Emergencies and Disasters Index: Applying big data to benchmark and validate neighborhood resilience capacity
TL;DR: Hurricane Sandy had a significant and immediate impact on neighborhoods classified as least resilient based on the calculated REDI scores, while the most resilient neighborhoods were shown to better withstand disruption to normal activity patterns and more quickly recover to pre-event functional capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grading buildings on energy performance using city benchmarking data
TL;DR: A building energy performance grading methodology using machine learning and city-specific energy use and building data that accounts for variations in the expected and actual performance of individual buildings, out-performing existing state-of-the-art methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This methodology has the potential to support collection truck route optimization based on expected building-level waste generation rates, and to facilitate new equitable solid waste management policies to shift behavior and divert waste from landfills based on benchmarking and peer performance comparisons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the energy retrofit decision in commercial office buildings
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of ownership type, tenant demand, and real estate market location on building energy retrofit decisions in the commercial office sector and found that ownership type and local market do, in fact, influence the retrofit decision.
